Description (last modified by ednl (Ewoud Dronkert))
Concerning: macOS 10.14.2, MacPorts 2.5.4, coreutils 8.30, GNU date. I use the nl_NL.UTF-8 locale on my Mac:
$ locale LANG="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
The localized output of `date' does translate the day and month names (but not the timezone, which is expected maybe) but keeps the C-locale order:
$ LC_ALL=C /opt/local/bin/date Sat Dec 8 11:32:02 CET 2018 $ LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF-8 /opt/local/bin/date za dec 8 11:32:24 CET 2018
That order is the same for any other locale. However, the order for my locale should be "%a %e %b %Y %X %Z" as found in the macOS locale definition:
$ /bin/date za 8 dec 2018 11:54:44 CET $ cat /usr/share/locale/nl_NL.ISO8859-1/LC_TIME | grep %Z %a %e %b %Y %X %Z
(There is no separate UTF-8 definition for LC_TIME.) Or on my Debian system, which is (effectively) the same:
$ cat /usr/share/i18n/locales/nl_NL | grep -A2 date_fmt date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0065><U0020><U0025><U0062>/ <U0020><U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U006B><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A>/ <U0025><U0053><U0020><U0025><U005A>"
There is no /opt/local/share/i18n/ directory on my MacPorts installation. Is that the problem? Or should the definitions from /usr/share/locale/ be used? It definitely seems wrong that the names are localized but the order isn't.
